The AP6010 is designed for chromatic dispersion and length measurements of singlemode optical fibers and uses an operating principle which is based upon a phase-shift method per IEC 60793-1-42 and ITU-T G.650.
      Seven DFB laser diodes with wavelengths ranging between 1200nm to 1600nm are used as optical signal.Chromatic dispersion is calculated from the delayed signals of these internal laser diodes. The approximation formulae conforms to ITU and IEC standards.
      The data acquisition, processing and control of the AP6010 is done by an external Windows based computer.
